Cam got to a Super Bowl more in spite of him than because of him - it was the Panthers all world defense that season that did it. In said Super Bowl he played terrible and (like his entire career) showed the emotional maturity of a toddler. He is also a locker room cancer. The last thing we need is a man-baby on the team. 

As to Burrow, let's stop the one year wonder stuff - I had heard the raves about him last season too. Especially respected football people wondering how he would do in a more QB friendly scheme. Well, we found out and it was amazing. 

I disagree about Panthers getting to Super Bowl in spite of Cam. Cam had nearly 4000 yards with 35 TDs and only 10 INTs. He had another 600 rushing yards with 10 more TDs on the ground. He was listed as an All Pro, which is actually more meaningful than Pro Bowl.

They didn't have a 1000 yard rusher that year either, and their receivers weren't the best (best WR only 739 yards and it was Ted Ginn). Olsen and Cam were basically the offense.

Yet despite having only one good offensive weapon in Olsen, Cam and the Panthers ended up with 1st ranked offense in points and 11th in yards.
Yes, their defense was 6th in the league, but don't act like the offense (or Cam specifically) was bad.

Why you bringing up Burrow? I didn't say anything about him being a one-year wonder recently at all, and I haven't held that against him for at least a couple months.
